Reconstructed crannog on Loch Tay, Scotland. A roundhouse is a type of house with a circular plan, usually with a conical roof. In the later part of the 20th century, modern designs of roundhouse eco-buildings were constructed with materials such as cob, cordwood or straw bale walls and reciprocal frame green roofs.
The house consists of a long rectangle divided by a cross passage. The west end is a large hall some 25 feet (7.6 m) high. [43] The east end consists of smaller rooms on two floors. The roof structure is substantial, of paired cruck beams with additional horizontal, vertical and diagonal bracing. [44]
